Hey all! Just an update! I discovered this site called VSCO and it is good for posting photos and/or blog posts. So far it has been very cool. My profile is extremely bland right now so don't judge, but I would recommend checking it out!

I traveled to "the top of the world" this weekend (The ski town of St. Moritz, Switzerland). We had fantastic weather and we were up at 8am for a tour around the area. It was definitely worth the "early" wake up.

The reflections in the lake were breathtaking, I could not keep the scene to myself.



Does this scene create a sense of movement?

Thank you all for the comments and advice, I will use that when figuring out the kind of website to create

I have been convinced to create a website, one that I can hopefully share my story along with my pictures. (strongly copy written of course)

Not if you have an Adobe Creative Cloud account. i.e The photographers one that includes Lightroom and Photoshop

As Adobe put it...

"When your creative work is your life’s work, nothing is more important than having a beautiful portfolio website. With Portfolio – which comes free with any Adobe Creative Cloud plan – you can quickly and simply build a website to showcase your creative work, so you can get back to doing what you do best."


Shoot, I dont have an account. I use my dads old photoshop elements 11 user. I tried that one but it didnt work. Thanks for the advice though! BTW love the landscape photos on your site, great subject matter and use of exposure!

Yes, but it you also I'm bed your copyright info into the data captured by your camera, that copyright is much harder to remove.

Check your user manual for instructions on how to do this, but it should be on one of your built in menus on the camera.

A stripped copyright is a flagrant violation of the copyright laws.

There have been numerous discussions on copyright and copyright laws here on UHH, most recently within the last few months. Go to the search menu, and just enter Copyright in the search bar.

You might want to keep records of when you post your shots, and to which sites they were posted.

Thank you! I didnt know that my camera could do that, I will look for it now.

My alarm went off at 5:00 this morning, and I viewed your topic as I was trying to get up and out the door for an early morning photo shoot.

I had not yet viewed your work, so it was a comment in general.

But, if you are thinking that at some point in the future, that you might like to offer your work for sale, think about the potential marketability of each shot tnat you take, and edit out any that do meet a high standard that only you can set.

After just now viewing your work, I see that you have an eclectic collection of subject matter. Unfortunately, I'm not using my HD device to view them, so I wasn't able to fully appreciate the quality of your work.

I'm going to repeat my advice to take all of your shots down, and add either a copyright or watermark to all of them.

There are too many dishonest folks out there who would not hesitate to take one of your photographs, and claim it as their own.

Hey Thanks for the review, and for the advice! I know that website keeps the copywrite when I post. I will make sure to be more aware of this fact in the future though! Thank you!

First, ensure that all of your displayed photos are either copyrighted or watermarked. If they are not, take them all down, and get that corrected.

Does ViewBug have a good reputation for sales?

I'm not familiar with this site. Do a search for complaints.

There are several sites that cater to sales of photography, or items containing photographs, which are handled like a consignment.

If your photos are sharp, and can be blown up to 150% to 200% of their original size, without loss of clarity, then you might have a saleable shot. Windows Editor is a great place to quickly scroll each of your shots larger to to check for clarity.

Remember you need to look at each shot from someone else's perspective.

I'm not realllly looking to sell from my site directly, It will mostly be used as a gallery to show off. I will direct people to my site if they are interested in my photos.

Is that last comment about my photos? Or just a general piece of advice?

If you have an Adobe Creative account you can create a free online portfolio/gallery. Head on over to http://www.myportfolio.com/

This is mine http://mikehardisty.myportfolio.com/ didn't take me that long to put together. Like you I'm just an amateur and really I only use it to link to and from my blog


Thanks Mike! Do I have to pay to publish my site?

Hello fellow Hedgehogs,

Im wondering how important it is to have a gallery of my photographs online. I do not professionally take photos but it is a hobby I like a lot, and would not be opposed to trying to sell some of my photographs, and maybe later in life I would like to do something with them.

So Im wondering how important it would be to make a webpage displaying my photos? Currently the link at the bottom of the page brings you to my ViewBug account, there is no way to organize my pictures there, it just has a lot of my good ones. Is it worth the time to organize? People who have done this, is is worth the effort? I would like to show off my photos, but I dont know the best way.

From what I see, the second and next to last seem to flatten scenes that based on the elements probably have quite a bit of depth.

The others look like nice snap shots. But I mostly shoot birds, so what do I know?

Haha Thanks for the input anyways! Always nice to hear! When you say "based on the elements" does it mean that you had to figure out what the elements were and then decide whether or not that object should have had depth?
